Hi all
Stumbled onto this thread and wanted to join to share first Hand my experiences.

So I run a Axyz router for my day job my boss lets me run my own bits now and then bit wanted one at my home workshop.
I had intended to go for the entry level Ali frame desktop machine but saw these and thought the looked up to scratch.

Well when the machine arrived seemed okay plugged in and had a play.

I do have quite a lot to pick at so please bear with me. I've built and desined many machines so had a idea what to look for

1st I asked for a base the machine was the desktop version just tacked to a floor base with no feet.
The gantry lead screw supports where loose and the screw was binding on the gantry end plate.

The frame is 3mm side to side out of square front to back 2mm corner to corner

Missing bolts on the guide rails

Over 50% of the bolts loose or not torqued

On the 3mm thick gantry bearing plates which have two m6 bolts one bolt was just held in to a stripped hole with locktite

Gantry is twisted

Whole machine has such a high enter of gravity it rocks (if the gantry was rotated 90degrees to span the shorted distance may fix part of this

Ridiculous amount of vibration / resonation

Drilled plates and hole allingment poorly done and on limits with bolts binding.

Over all I should of built my own but would of took way too long.
Pretty disappointed with my purchase but
I will make do and let the machine earn it's money back and I will re invest in a better
